Schlump [Slug]

The rediscovery: a forgotten classic, a grandiose anti-war novel from 1928. The 'Stories and adventures from the life of the unknown musketeer Emil Schulz, called ›Schlump‹, told by himself' show the path of an inexperienced young hero from the stage to the top battlefield, to the hospital and back. And they tell the story of a modern Hans im Glueck, who is looking for romance and in the end meets the great love that has always been waiting for him. 'A French-style book of wisdom with a Latin cheerfulness,' says Volker Weidermann, who provides information on the author and work in his afterword.
